Maybe in about 2 years, we are going to have all of the primarchs available plus their demon versions.

[@Ghostpanzer]

5 year plan is for Horus heresy 40k has no “primarch” plan just

[@SpruesNStuds]

And there is a 100% chance that we will be broke as a joke because of all the beautiful releases of these HH primarchs

[@greentsn5003]

Hopefully we get like 3-4 primarch announcements this year, cannot wait! Looking forward to Russ, Magnus, Vulkan, Sanguinius! But they'll probably spreadout the cool ones.

[@billcipher2467]

Bro deamon Angron bout to be 500.00 dollars 😭

[@perche26]

got mine a few days ago and the lion is in another level of quality, a superb figure.

[@SpruesNStuds]

Yes, I do agree that the Lion is a fantastic figure. I mean if we are paying ~120-150 USD, it'd better be damn good right?

[@sphyre1196]

Got mine 4 days ago. Looking mighty fine except for 2 tiny blemishes on the shoulder plates. Still very much worth the purchase.

[@SpruesNStuds]

Sadly, JT is not known 100% for the quality control as it can be all over the place for their "regularly" priced action figures. However, I have found that for the most part, for their more expensive figures, they tend to put more effort into them (as they should)

[@Michael.Virtus]

Saving this video to watch it when my JoyToy Lion El'Jonson is in my hands in several days (shipping in progress) so I can watch and listen to your review while I am checking my figure in my hands in the same time for the exact details.

[@SpruesNStuds]

I think there will be slight variations between your figure as well as mine. I think that in the areas that are free painted, there will be small differences. For the most part, they should be the same. Enjoy your investment!

[@Sarigar]

I opened mine today, it's an incredible figure. I noticed one small additional feature: the heat exhausts with the wing covers on the backpack are articulated, or at least can rotate, so you can flare the wings out a bit more dramatically if you wish. I agree that having the pistol as a wieldable weapon would have been nice, but I accept that Joytoy is entirely at GW's mercy of what they can make, when, and how. Another thorough and instructive review, thanks S&S!

[@blankusername1753]

I believe the reason for the misspelling of Judgement on the scabbard for the sword is mainly due to the fact that Joy toys uses the minatures as a base for the figures as well as the word being covered when one of the mini guys are holding the scabbard. But I do agree regardless that this was an oversight and regardless of the visibility of the latters in the word, it should have been spelled properly. Overall a great video and I prob might pick this figure up!

[@JorgeCastillo-uc7ek]

The Lion!!!! I can't wait to have mine, but I ordered through BBTS. But I already made my first Flyimatoy order to try their service.

[@SpruesNStuds]

I believe that you will not be disappointed with the Lion to be gracing your shelf. Flyima is an excellent retailer for these action figures and I definitely would not be advertising for them if I did not believe that they are awesome. *Spoiler* they are awesome

[@chrisdavies4274]

Mine came today and its absolutely superb. Ill be gobsmacked if this figure isnt the best 1/18 scale figure of 2024.

[@SpruesNStuds]

OOooooooOo you are correct in that at least the Lion will make it to the top 10 figures of 2024. The future of 2024 is still young and there are A LOT of releases ahead of us...namely the Imperial Knights

[@richardch.4356]

I hope they do Vulkan and Leman Russ soon

[@AstartesJustin]

😊Got mine! And Flyima is my 1st goto!

[@SpruesNStuds]

Excellent Brother! I hope that you are enjoying your Lion and I am especially glad that you have chose Flyima as your plastic crack provider...as you and I both know that they get that crack to your doorstep quite quickly to quench your thirst

[@atomicgaming1716]

No arm falling off Guilliman-style? Love this figure!

[@paulofreire7520]

Great figure, dude and great review. Congrats and enjoy it 👍🏻

[@SpruesNStuds]

Thank you for the praise as well as your viewership. Oh, I have been enjoying the releases of these WH40K action figures. It's like a teenage wet dream come true! (too much? perhaps...but I had to go there)

[@Astartes7670]

Finally, Tywin Lannister 😂

[@SpruesNStuds]

Indeed...now that you have said it. I cannot unsee it

[@richardch.4356]

Along with Horus and Vulkan the Lion is one of my favorite primarchs

[@frost1842]

My Lion just arrive today and when i thought Guilliman was AWESOME Lion was another level of AWESOME, next arrival is Rogal Dorn

[@tyleranderson5183]

Just got mine this weekend...wow, and I thought Guilliman was a monster! The Lion is larger, very imposing, and very cool! (The hooded helmet, though, reminds me of Dr. Doom a bit!🤣)

[@SpruesNStuds]

Well, they are both monsters in their own respect. Blueberry man has cooler looking armor but the stalker like composition of the Lion is quite badass too

[@steh4329]

Joytoy can only reproduce the miniature into action figure form as is, as the pistol wasn't out of the holster, the figure is the same. It's the contract with GW.

[@frankieh]

God damn GW, let these people work. Their figures are nuts.

[@SpruesNStuds]

It's sad that they as in JT cannot freelance just a little bit. The opportunity to improve on an already existing template is, well almost natural. But too bad...such a wasted opportunity

[@Cornerboy73]

I can't wait to get my hands on this !

[@SpruesNStuds]

9 days have passed...have you gotten your hands on the Lion yet?

[@RomanianTemplar]

I've been waiting for this!!!

[@SpruesNStuds]

Did you end up buying the figure? And if you did, was it worth the wait?

[@skepticalcentral8795]

🔥🔥🔥JUBGEMENT🔥🔥🔥

[@rb0092]

Mine came in today unfortunately Im at work😢. As always great video keep it up!

[@SpruesNStuds]

Now that you are not at work, you should be able to bask in the glory that is the Lion. Thank you for watching the vid and for your continued support!

[@xavierktolentino8373]

nice figure! waiting for mine to arrive, I wish he would've looked like Charles Dance from Game of Thrones...

[@SpruesNStuds]

Has your Lion arrived yet? And yes, there is a marked resemblance to Mr. Tywin Lannister

[@xavierktolentino8373]

@@SpruesNStuds it's scheduled to arrive next week, for the meantime I'm enjoying watching your reviews

[@franklledo6169]

What’s the best way to reposition the feathers on his helmet? They came slightly tilted to the middle and I would like to make them uniform and straight.

[@VenomSnake00]

I just ordered mine, I am so excited. I had a question, I’m new to the Warhammer universe and was curious why this guy is so much bigger than the other space marines?

[@billcipher2467]

in the Lore The space Marines were divided into legions and these legions had specific traits from godlike beings known as the Primarchs this guy is one of the primarchs

[@johncoffman5536]

The wait for this one is especially hard…

[@SpruesNStuds]

It is my belief that the anticipation of all Primarchs are very hard to wait for...especially if you are devoted follower of the first legion. May your Primarch arrive on your doorstep sooner than later

[@YTSORF]

🦁

[@stasmatveev6235]

Спасибо за обзор, утвердился в том, что не зря заказал себе, повелииеля первого легиона

[@SpruesNStuds]

Thank you for watching the video. It is VERY much appreciated. I believe that your order of the Lion will not disappoint. He is an excellent figure!

[@eduardsonlansangan2834]

no size comparison with other marines or even Roboute Guilliman

[@gonran4661]

Mine is coming in few days later. 😢

[@SpruesNStuds]

I suppose that is now more than a few days later than from when you posted? Has your sleeping Lion arrived yet?

[@andrewalexander3919]

Where do you recommend to buy this joytoy figures?

[@mrt6349]

Why did Lion El Jonson send Zahariel back to Caliban?

[@berzzerker43lol5]

I want my Lemman figure

[@SpruesNStuds]

You want your Leman Russ figure? That would be nice to see...however with no miniature = no action figure...sad day

[@berzzerker43lol5]

@@SpruesNStuds I'm sure more than one Primarch will reappear this year...

[@JaghataiK]

That Jubgement costs $150 :(

[@domhemingway6271]

The old face of the Lion is really messed up

[@SpruesNStuds]

Well...he is 10,000+ years old and did not have the benefit of a stasis field like his fellow Brother Blueberry Smurf

[@ashurafreedan]

i got jubged once in amsterdam. i paid 50 bucks for it

[@SpruesNStuds]

Hahaha

[@Piotrus2019]

[@RelevantCommentary]

8:36 does that say juBgement? 🤨

[@SpruesNStuds]

Oh yes and I juBge JT immensely for missing that MAJOR fact

[@RelevantCommentary]

@SpruesNStuds any chance you messaged them for a resolution? Replacement sheath perhaps? Also thank you for this video, I've been away from 40k for decades. Seeing the Lion at this scale got me back into the hobby. Have been reading Son of the Forest as a preamble to the Jtoy model.

[@michaelfranzgarcia7769]

mine will arrive last wk jan or first wk feb the sister with heavy bolter arrive first need to repaint the robe to a dark green and need a wash or shade for hair and face sad Arma Luminis is a prop and not removable (plasma pistol) not worth the price joytoy is a minimalism company C-

[@SpruesNStuds]

Yeah, I really would have liked to see Arma be a "real" pistol. This was one of the biggest misses

[@michaelfranzgarcia7769]

@@SpruesNStuds i have the pictures going to 3d print after my lion arrive

[@TheTruthHz]

So you're fine with the scabbard having "juBgment" on it, but the inability to to remove the pistol is a problem?

[@skyspeeder1974]

Again no size comparison. Come on!

[@richardch.4356]

Hes does a size comparison in his other videos

[@clauricaune]

"Jubgement"? Really?

[@kissshawn]

too bad that pistol can't be pulled out.

[@kaijuh]

4:42 Why does he look like a 34yo bus driver going through his 3rd divorce 😭

[@jayrey6945]

🤣 cause he s sick of the j"o"bgement 09:25

[@Cornerboy73]

I like his new look, he's a real diesel daddy now LOL ! After all, even a mature lion is still a lion ; )

[@SpruesNStuds]

No stasis field and aside from that, he's over 10,000 years old!

[@lawrenceking9300]

dude, I cannot unseen "Jubgement". That itself for me is a no-buy. What a joke.

[@tyleranderson5183]

Eh, a purity seal covers one "B" most of the way, and if you have the Watcher in the Dark hold the scabbard, the Watcher obscures the "B" on the other side. But I agree, it is still pretty annoying.😑

[@SpruesNStuds]

It's rough indeed. I just have my respective Lion have the Watcher in the Dark hold the scabbard with the purity seal side facing me so that I don't have to juBge the error every day

[@florintanase9348]

this is not a good figure, restricting articulation with that stupid cape desighn is just stupid, jt really shot themselves in the foot there

[@NueThunderKing]

Nah, it is an amazing figure, the limited motion is not even a problem because the overall design of the character is outstanding

[@SpruesNStuds]

I suppose one of the things that we need to keep in mind is that these are 100% copies of the miniatures so whatever GW dictates, JT has to follow. I suppose in the end, GW is to blame

[@aeonsbeyond]

Poor people can't watch your videos bro you're too rich
